Milt Hendrickson takes over Jon-Eric Sullivan's old title, and he's now the most important personnel person under general manager Brian Gutekunst.
The Green Bay
Packers
lost vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan
this offseason, when he took over as the Miami Dolphins
general manager. Unsurprisingly
, they made a promotion to replace Sullivan and mitigate the front office loss.
On Tuesday, the Packers announced
that Milt Hendrickson, who had been the director of football operations since 2019, is the new vice president of player personnel. That wasn't the only promotion, though.
Milt Hendrickson has had a close relationship with Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst for a long time. When Gutekunst was promoted to GM in 2018, he immediately tried to hire Hendrickson, but the Ravens blocked the move. When his deal in Baltimore
expired in 2019, the executive joined Green Bay.
It was clear that he was the next man in line to take over right under Gutekunst. The Packers sent him to a revamped accelerator program
during NFL owners meeting in Florida, an indication of how much they value his work.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst also announced more promotions throughout the front office. Co-director of player personnel John Wojciechowski was elevated to director of football operations, Hendrickson's previous position.
Director of pro personnel Richmond Williams has been promoted to director of player personnel. Meanwhile, senior player personnel executive Lee Gissendaner adds director of pro scouting to his role.
Director of college scouting Matt Malaspina has been promoted to senior player personnel executive. Assistant director of college scouting Pat Moore is now a director of college scouting. National scout Sam Seale is now a senior national scout, while Luke Benuska has been promoted from college scout to national scout. National scout Mike Owen is now the assistant director of pro scouting.
